Roy Green - Sun Dec 28 - Human Rights For Animals

3:30: Animal rights is one thing, animal human rights is another. An Argentine court conferred limited human rights on an orangutan held in captivity so she (Sandra) can be transferred to a habitat more of the kind she would encounter in the wild. Sandra will move from the Buenos Aires Zoo to a Brazilian sanctuary. This is the first global ruling of its kind and is precedent setting. Do animals deserve this kind of protection under the law? Do animals deserve to be granted partial human rights? What are the implications for how you may determine your pet's life and way of living?
Guest: Jim Willis. Animal rights supporter/activist, author of How Could You from his book Pieces of My Heart. Jane Goodall includes Pieces of My Heart among her recommended books in more than 170 countries. A similar primate case is before the courts in the U.S.
-
3:45: The LAST WORD to CALLERS: Do animals deserve to be granted partial human rights? Should you be free to decide on your pet's life and perhaps even when your pet should be euthanized, or should that be governed by law?
